Re: Trade proposal on a Kings board

I would consider a Cuttino Mobley/Bibby/KThomas for SJax/Tinsley/Croshere trade and swap at 1st round picks....if the numbers magically worked....but I would guess they don't.

SJax > Mobley
Tinsley < Bibby
Croshere <<<<<<< KThomas

bibby has a huge contract....might be hard to justify spending twice as much money on him as tinsley....plus i dont think bibby is touchable as far as sac is concerned....though with his contract id certainly listen if people called about him....

and thomas' contract sux to...i wouldnt want any part of it....

and mobley is one of the worst defenders in the league at his position....

im really not trying to dog this idea....really im not

give me bobby jackson from sac....maybe even songaila-depending on what kind of money he wants...

Re: Trade proposal on a Kings board

Shade - Drama? At least your drama didn't end with your franchise player being traded 22 hours before the trade deadline for Kenny Thomas, Corliss Williamson and Brian Skinner.

AND you don't have a good-looking prima donna who is apparently immune from criticism because, after all, he's such a pure shooter. He can put up crap numbers all year, play one decent game in the playoffs, and all of a sudden he's the future of the team again?

Webber may have had his problems but the dude was a warrior. He had heart and he always gave whatever he could, even if it wasn't much because of his knee. We virtually packed him off for one guy we traded away to make room for Peja, another guy with a contract that lasts LONGER than Webber's who doesn't have anywhere near the skills and the world's smallest center.

But I digress..

You may have had drama with Ron Artest, but you also had Reggie Miller for his entire career. I am very envious. The guy was a class act and watching him play (except against us) was all about watching someone who truly loved the game play it - and play it well.

In an effort to get a little cross-team dialogue going, VF posted this trade scenario on the PacersDigest forum. (Took a while to get my account approved for posting, so I apologize for the delay.) I think my favorite quote of the many replies went something like this: "The Kings only get to rape us once." To which I can only add "after that, it will cost them."

Sometimes when you know a team inside and out, you see value in players that might not necessary have value elsewhere in the league. Example: Fred Jones. Pacers guys love him and think he's a major bargaining chip or untouchable for trades (depending on who you ask) Outside of Pacer land, nobody could really give two shakes about the guy.

I think something like that may be happening when you assess the Kings players in this trade scenario. You see value where perhaps there is not much value. Handing you a talented/bargain/nutcase for two guys who play the position of our franchise player (who has made multiple public statements about not wanting to move to center) doesn't make sense. At least from a Pacers fan's point of view.

For what it's worth, I think there are several fans that would love to hand you Artest, but only if it means that Brad will come home. Others would love to see Bibby in Pacers blue and gold.

Again, you can have Artest, but baby, you only get one all-star for free from us. After that, it will cost you.
